  • Page 17: Multiple Target Nodes

    Multiple target nodes Multiple targets allow you to create a more configurable mapping scheme which can segregate storage into different iSCSI nodes within the iPBridge, with each iSCSI target having its own set of access criteria. For example, if you have two servers and a library with four tapes and a media changer, the default nodes would provide both servers access to all tapes and the media changer (default target...

    Checking the host system The faster the host, the faster your transfer times are. The work flow goes only as fast as the slowest connection in the host system, so transferring data from an IDE drive, 100Mb connection, a DLT 4000, a high speed RAID volume across the country, or other applications, slows the system no matter how fast everything else is in the system.
